As the world marked the International Day of the Girl Child, girls and boys in Kibera gathered not just to celebrate a date on the calendar, but to honor a movement that continues to redefine what empowerment looks like.

This year’s theme, “The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead,” carried added significance as the world also celebrated 30 years since the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a call for gender equality.
